AI Summary
This bill amends the Pennsylvania Election Code to change the requirements for the number of ballots that must be printed for primary and general elections. The key provisions are: (1) for primary elections, at least 50% of the total number of registered electors in an election district, less the number who have requested an absentee or mail-in ballot; and (2) for general elections, at least 100% of the total number of registered electors in an election district, less the number who have requested an absentee or mail-in ballot. The bill also removes the previous requirements that were based on the number of ballots cast in previous elections. The bill will take effect 60 days after enactment.
